Plan government glazing work around the applicable security test evidence, procurement brief, and building performance framework.
Government projects should define the threat model, applicable test criteria, glazing assembly, attachment system, and energy documentation before selecting film. Film is one possible component of a broader retrofit, not a guarantee of a security or rating outcome.
Where a government brief cites GSA or another security criterion, require test documentation for the exact film, glazing assembly, and attachment system; product marketing alone is insufficient.
Film may be considered within a LEED, ESG, or decarbonisation project when the applicable framework, modelling, and measured building data support that treatment.
Film can be less disruptive than some replacement scopes, but cost, access, phasing, and payback should be compared for the specific portfolio.
For multi-site portfolios, request a consistent specification matrix that records each building's glazing, threat model, attachment method, evidence, and warranty terms.
